The username is irrelevant, it relies on the public/private key pair matching. You just have to use ssh user@host1 when on host2 and ssh user@host2 when on host1. You can ssh from your notebook to your home server using this, regardless of how you access the network with it. -T -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Daevid Vincent Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 5:25 PM To: 'General Red Hat Linux discussion list' Cc: 'Douglas Phillipson' Subject: RE: get ssh to connect with out password I wanted to try this, but realized two things that are blocking me. 1st, my username on the two machines is different. Is there a way to handle that? My notebook gets a dynamic IP from a DHCP server at work. My home server is static. I want to ssh from notebook (at work) to home server.
